About Me

I enjoy collecting antique quilts and making reproductions of them both big and small. I've made a few baskets and I'd like to make more. I dabble in knitting and would love to learn rug hooking, but it's hard to find time to do it all. I work in higher education and I love my job. However, I do spend a lot of time dreaming about quilts.

Glorious Applique

Tuesday, January 8, 2013

No quilt activity here but I was excited to see Kathie's post today about quilting and applique inspiration she got from architecture on a trip to Boston. I took this photo of part of a building in the Mt. Vernon section of Baltimore, Maryland. I saw it in December while volunteering at the Maryland Historical Society and right after seeing some awesome mid-19th century applique quilts. Wouldn't this be wonderful as part of an applique border?
